Shape transformation of {hk0}-faceted Pt nanocrystals from a tetrahexahedron into a truncated ditetragonal prism†
Abstract
Shape transformation of Pt nanocrystals from a {730}-bounded tetrahexahedron into a {310}-bounded truncated ditetragonal prism was achieved using the electrochemical square-wave potential method. The transformation process and mechanism were revealed. This study provides new insight into the nanocrystal growth habit.
